About this map

Sierra Ancha dominates this mid-century landscape within the Tonto National Forest, characterized by complex water management and high-desert relief. The map reveals an intricate network of livestock and water infrastructure, including Whiskey Tank, Dutchwoman Tank, and the curiously named Dust Bowl Tank. These man-made features support a geography defined by dramatic landmarks like Dutchwoman Butte and Armer Mountain.

Evidence of local habitation and livestock activity appears at the Boyer Cabin and the Tucker Box, while natural water sources such as Tin House Spring and Cherry Creek Spring provide critical points of interest in this arid terrain. The presence of multiple Ruins and a dense system of Trails and Jeep Trails underscores a period of active land use and exploration, from the depths of Hells Hole to the high reaches of Tanner Peak.
